Prohibited mounting methods
It is not permitted to brace the implement (grit spreader) against the
sidewalls of the body. For this reason, the implement should not be
equipped with bracing devices.
•
It is not allowed to use the serial platform towing eyes.
•
It is not allowed to reinforce the implement by using the plat-
form’s sidewall.

How to prevent the implement from sliding to the front
The implement must be secured against sliding to the front using two
mechanical stops (a and b). One of them has to be adjustable in
length. The implement fastening must be dimensioned in such a
way, that, even in case of an accident, it does not slide to the front.
a) Implement support at the rear edge of the floor or at the
cross beam of the subframe (preferred) (see Figure 4.51).
b) Adjustable stop at the front of the body (see Figure 4.50).
